Full-Backs

Made some questionable long passes and deliveries. Struggled to match his counterpart on the other side, Bukayo Saka. After such a positive run of form, was a shame to see him dip out of it. He’ll be back though.. RB. Arsenal. AINSLEY MAITLAND-NILES. 6.2

Arsenal. BUKAYO SAKA. 6.9. It’s going to take some time for him to inspire confidence at leftback, but to his credit, he held his own. Got forward really well and Sheffield didn’t find a lot of joy in Saka territory. And he was arguably our most involved player throughout the early going, in all the best ways. Sneakily, he was proving himself quite effective.. LB
